Who doesn’t own a coffee mug?

I’m sure she is a good person and she appreciated your visit, though! It’s always nice to get back to one’s own kitchen.

I hesitated to use them, so I grabbed one at Marc's

from the Obama campaign with the birth certificate on it!

When we moved to this house more than twenty years ago, my cousin and his wife came down to help us move some of the big stuff on his trailer. While we moved boxes and boxes and boxes of books, his wife and mine packed up the kitchen.

After a couple of hours, Judy looked at my wife and said, “Bob has more kitchen stuff than Emeril!”

I love to eat good food prepared at home in my own kitchen where I know the cook is clean and always washes her hands! And, it's such a creative outlet for me. But, to each their own. Cook away, Marthe48! Have a blast in your gadget filled sanctuary.

I just got done baking sourdough olive and sun-dried tomatoes focaccia and a loaf of regular white sourdough with sesame seeds. I think the smell of fresh baked bread is almost as heavenly as eating it--Lord! that focaccia was to die for! When I go to my daughter's house, I feel her kitchen is pretty sparse compared to mine. They eat out more than they eat in, sadly and it is hard for me to put a proper meal together when I'm with her. I'm going there next week and I'll think I'll only prepare to cook in the InstaPot, which she has. I hate eating out, but my grandkids are mighty picky eaters. I'll try to figure out something simple and kid friendly for my visit.

I don't know how long you were at your friend's house, but I know you were glad to get back to your own kitchen. I know I will be after being at my daughter's for a few days.
